I pile it all up on all available surfaces in my sewing room. I'll grab something to add to projects I'm working on, but mostly I enjoy looking at it. When it gets too out of hand, I'll fold it nicely and add to my stash.

Yep, that would be me also

I use pinking shears and cut the raw edges, (I leave the selvages on) wash the fabric with like colors, use color catchers in the wash, warm water, cold rinse. Put all the fabric in the dryer with 6 woolie balls at low temperature for 10 minutes and then hang the fabric up, kind of making sure it is hanging nicely. When total dry, the fabric is separated by color, fold up and put away. When ready to quilt, I take the fabric I want to use, spray starch it and iron it with steam iron and then begin cutting the fabric as needed.

On my budget, I only buy fabric for a new project so I may wash and starch it, then go right ahead and use it!

I usually wash all new fabric and that I buy because I don't want to have to do it when I decide to use it. And I don't iron it until I am ready to use it because I don't want to do it twice. It just seems to be a waste of time. I will even wash pre-cuts but only when I am about to use those so they stay together better.

I don't prewash, so I just press it and start cutting!

I wash color like fabrics together as soon as I get it home and hang it outside to dry. Run it thru the dryer for few minutes and then fold it up and put it with my stash. I don't iron it until I am ready for a new project.

Ditto for me too!

Ditto! I do the same.

I fold it on comic boards and put it in my stash until I'm ready to use it.
